Jillian Matz

Jillian L. Matz serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, with a strong emphasis on management consulting, workforce training, and educational support services. Matz works closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align contracting strategies with agency goals, ensuring transparency, competition, and regulatory integrity across all procurements. Her contractor relationships are characterized by a broad base of vendors, with frequent engagement with management consulting firms, technical training providers, and advertising agencies. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently fosters competitive environments that encourage both large and small business participation. Matz prioritizes open competition and leverages full and open solicitations as the default approach, while strategically deploying set-asides to support socioeconomic objectives. She demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with over 26% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 0.9% allocated to 8(a) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—favoring broad competition while intentionally creating pathways for certified small businesses to compete for federal opportunities. Matz’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and NAICS 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), indicating deep expertise in organizational efficiency consulting and workforce development training. She also regularly procures educational support services and advertising solutions, demonstrating versatility across knowledge-based service sectors. Her technical domain expertise centers on human capital development, operational consulting, and institutional capacity building through targeted service contracts.
